Democratizing Product Development for Inventors, Startups, and Small Businesses

Our Purpose:

DiFi3D exists to approach each human interaction with the heart of a teacher, educating our customers and our team members on the potential product development has to change the life of an inventor or help a business improve the state of the world.

"We don't take those words lightly. Dimensional Fidelity was born out of a passion for seeing a thought or a simple napkin sketch transform into a physical object. Whether you're an individual inventor, startup, or small business/manufacturer, DiFi wants to help you share your next big idea with the world.

Services

Seeing your idea or simple sketch move into the 3D world is exhilarating, and we want to help you get there quickly. From conceptual design to technical product design, we'll bring our engineering expertise and eye for aesthetics to your project to deliver a 3D design you can be proud of.

Whether you need a wicked concept model or a functional prototype we can bring your design to life, one layer at a time. We specialize in printing using general plastics which are great for robust parts.

You can rest assured we'll build manufacturability into your design, saving you valuable time and money once you're ready to take your design to production. Not sure how to get there? We can walk with you through the process.

Customer Love

I was VERY pleased with the work that Dimensional Fidelity did for me. I provided some initial drawings and Dimensional Fidelity really generated an excellent 3D rendering. They were able to provide some suggestions to improve my part to be more friendly for injection molding and rapid prototyping. Their communication was clear and prompt and the work was done ahead of schedule and right on the estimate.

— Matt Schmidt

From CAD drawings all the way through to 3D printing, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The communication has been great and the speed and attention to detail is fantastic. I am thankful they are a part of my product development team and couldn’t have done it without them.

— Stacey Wright, CUVY

The final product was absolutely fantastic. No complaints here - best design job I have ever seen.

— Brian Silverman

Bring your ideas to life.

This is Zena, a spirited dog who found herself going through a bit of a rough patch in late 2016. This is the story about Zena’s struggles, the people who worked together to get her back on track, and how 3D printing technology helped them along the way.

Thanks to Jason Post of Aire Plastics for this week's guest post. If you're ready to share your big product idea with the world and are ready to chat with a manufacturer, give Jason a call to get connected with the Aire Plastics Team.

Finding and working with a manufacturer is not easy when you are just starting out. You may call, send Requests for Quotes (RFQs), and e-mail people, and get nothing but cri-cri-cri-crickets. As with anything in life, persistence is the key, but by following a few tips I’ll show you here, you will be able to develop relationships with manufacturers early on and find the one that’s right for your project.

Over the last several years I’ve had the privilege of working with a bunch of individual inventors, helping them refine their product ideas, iterate through prototypes, and consult through the manufacturing process. I’ve come to the realization that the bulk of the inventors I’ve worked with have had one thing in common: when they came to see me it was their first foray through the product development process. They probably could have used a roadmap which lays out the typical steps to follow through the process. Thus, for the benefit of my future clients, I’ve laid out the high-level steps that the typical product must go through prior to releasing the product to market.

When my buddy Kyle approached me late last year about designing an engagement ring for him and his (hopefully) soon to be fiancé, I pretty much had to say “I do”. I realize that sounds like an odd answer to the question, “Will you design an engagement ring for Susan?”, but the way he asked it was more like, “Do you solemnly swear to design this ring with enthusiasm, integrity, and love, for as long as we both shall live?” I wish I was making this up to just make this article sound more “wedding-y”, but I’m not. Kyle is just REALLY into weddings. So, after a brief awkward silence, I said “yes”.

Throughout 2015 my printing workload consistently increased enough to justify adding to DiFi's fleet of 3D printers in preparation for the new year. Thus began my week long obsession with trying to find the perfect printer. NEWS FLASH: there is no perfect printer out there so don't make the same mistake I did, spending the bulk of your waking hours scouring Amazon reviews in your underpants looking for that one golden fabricator. So close your laptop, put on some pants, and just start by listing your top care-abouts when looking for a new printer.
